N-(4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-3-nitropyridin-2-amine → N2-(4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)pyridine-2,3-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl)-3-nitropyridin-2-amine (C11) (5.0 g, 19 mmol) and Raney nickel (3 g) in ethyl acetate (400 mL) was degassed three times with hydrogen. The reaction mixture was then hydrogenated at room temperature for 20 hours. After removal of the catalyst via filtration, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Purification via silica gel chromatography afforded the product as a gray solid. Yield: 3.1 g, 13 mmol, 68%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.87 (dd, J=4.9, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (dd, J=11.5, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.24 (dd, J=8.5, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.06 (dd, J=7.6, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (ddd, J=8.7, 2.5, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 6.82 (dd, J=7.6, 4.9 Hz, 1H), 6.37 (br s, 1H), 3.38 (br s, 2H).
